Gayle Forman

We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.

We kiss again. This next kiss is the kind that breaks open the sky. It steals my breath and gives it back. It shows me that every other kiss I've had in my life has been wrong.

I'm not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I'm not sure that I want to wake up.

Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.

Life might take you down different roads. But each of you gets to decide which one to take.

Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.

I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It’s okay if you have to leave us. It’s okay if you want to stop fighting.

But still, I find the need to remind myself of the temporariness of a day, to reassure myself that I got through yesterday, I'll get through today.

In the calculus of feelings, you never really know how one person's absence will affect you more than another's.

There are so many things that demand to be said. Where did you go? Do you ever think about me? You've ruined me. Are you okay? But of course, I can't say any of that.

Love, it never dies. It never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it. Love can make you immortal

But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow.

And now I am here, as alone as I've ever been. I am seventeen years old. This is not how it's suppose to be. This is not how my life is suppose to turn out.

Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk.

You forget, time doesn't exist anymore. You gave it to me.
